About Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American actress, model, singer, songwriter, director, and producer. Lindsay entered the world of show business at the tender age of three as a Ford model, which led to several television commercials. She did more television work as she grew up, including Disney Channel movies. Lindsay’s Disney connection, which included starring as the twins in a remake of The Parent Trap, continued into her teens and helped her expand her career into music: along with co-starring with Jamie Lee Curtis in 2003’s Freaky Friday, she also performed the movie’s theme song, “Ultimate.” The following year, Lindsay starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and contributed two songs to its soundtrack.

Buoyed by these successes as well as her starring role in Mean Girls, Lindsay hosted the 2004 MTV Movie Awards and won an award for Female Breakout Star. She also signed to Tommy Mottola’s Casablanca Records, releasing an aptly-titled lead single “Rumors” to her debut album, Speak, in December of 2004, with the full-length receiving a Platinum certification in the United States. The next year saw celebrity start to catch up with Lindsay after she become the ultimate Hollywood tabloid magnet. While she continued her relationship with Disney, filming a remake of Herbie: Fully Loaded, Internet and tabloid rumors spread about everything from her health and love life to her late-night party habits and diva behavior.

By the end of 2005, Lindsay’s persona as the wild and damaged teen siren – whatever its ratio of truth to fiction – had outshone her accomplishments as an actress and a singer. And it was into this caustic tabloid climate that she released her Gold-certified second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), which featured “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)” – a letter to her father addressing his alcoholism and domestic abuse. Later that year, Lindsay was switched from Casablanca to Motown Records by Universal Music Group. Though she focused more on her film career in 2006 and 2007 (co-starring with the likes of Meryl Streep, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin) and continued to have a swirl of tabloid attention and media controversy around her, she planned work on a third album with Pharell Williams, releasing a single “Bossy” produced by Ne-Yo and Stargate in 2008, which topped the US Dance chart.

The following years saw Lindsay focusing on her personal life and health, while also exploring other creative ventures, and moving to London where she made her stage debut in the West End in 2014. She made a guest appearance on the album track “Dancephobia” by Duran Duran in 2015 and has expressed interest in releasing another album in the future.
